lace trim shorts

Last night I made another pair of Puppet Show Shorts for Ruby - it is such a great little pattern!  I re-purposed  another pair of dad's old work slacks and added some pretty lace trim to the pockets.  I also used a pretty aqua thread, which is hard to see in the photo, but looks really cute in person.


Last week at my sewing studio class, a woman showed up with two carloads of sewing supplies to donate ... fabric, trims, elastics, faux furs, even a dress form!  I really had to restrain my supply hoarding tendencies, but did walk away with yards of this cute trim, 3 inch elastic, and a big piece of lace fabric that I'm really excited about.  Do you have trouble turning away free supplies?  My fabric drawers are so overstocked that they hardly close, but I just can't help myself.

In other news ... can you believe that baby Cora is 6 months old today?  She is such a little doll.  The days are long with three little kids, but time really is going fast.  I'm a lucky mama!
